    I've been doing this for 3 years now, and the company makes all the difference.
    First company was a starter company who held your hand and mandated everything you did.
    Current company is a private fleet that gives you a trailer number, the bills, and tells you to call em for the back haul. If they don't have one, you come home empty, getting paid hub miles all the way. Weekends off don't suck either.
    It was actually a big shock when I first started with this company. I went from having everything dictated to me, to being on my own.
    It isn't perfect, but no job is. I get aggravated at 'em on a weekly basis, but show me a company that you don't get aggravated at. It's how you approach the job you are in, as to how happy you are going to be doing it.
